A wisconsin Cranberry Marsh.

Mr.. John Hancock, Jr., son of Col.
John Hancock, of Wisconsin, whose
home is at the head of Big City Point
Marsh, one of the largest cranberry and
lumber regions of the northwest, was
met in New York recently and was asked
for some particulars, for the Mail and
Express, of the life in the region of his
home. Mr.. Hancock said that the marsh,
great portion of which has been turned
into cranberry fields, is altogether about
forty miles long and varies in width from
three to six and seven miles. 1t is situa-
ted about in the centre of the State. His
own cranberry bog is at the upper end
and is three miles square. A good yield
Of the berries upon it is two hundred
bushels an acre. The method which he
has adopted for raising the berries is a
new one, although different from that
followed East or even generally in the
West, and has been found remarkably
successful The marsh is first moved,
then ''scalped" or cleaned of grass roots
down to the peat. Then old cranberry
vines are scattered broadcast over it and
these are rolled. Then the field is food
ed. This is the work of the first year.
The second year the field takes care of
itself and the third year the vines begin
to bear lightly. Each year succeeding
the yield grows larger until the tenth,
when the vines are in their prime. I'm
der the old system it used to take fifteen
years before a good crop was assured.
"As to picking the berries, "he added,
''there are two ways-by hand and by
rake. With us now the latter has been
generally adopted, as hand labor is too
expensive. The rake is peculiar i'm
plement, made especially for the purpose
and called o scoop-rake. 1t has steel
teeth, and catches the berries and holds
them. One man, on the average, can
gather ten bushels day with rake,
and some as many as forty bushels. Rak-
ers are paid $1.50 per day and board.
But the berries must be handled consid-
erably more than this before they are
ready for market. Were they to be at
: once put into barrels they would sweat
and spoil. First, they are taken to a
storehouse, where they are cured, that
is, sweated and dried. This takes two
weeks. Then they are put into mill,
like tanning mill. and cleaned. Then
they are ready to be put in barrels for
the market"

Portraits Made With a Hot Poker

Poker sketching is an untaught art.
Perhaps few persons know what poker
sketch is. Seth Turner, the Boston
banker, has in his parior sketch of
Henry Clay, on the back of which is
this inscription:
''This sketch was burned with poker
-sculpsit. Henry Clay, Boston, Mass,
1853"
The face of the picture, which is
burned on wood, is full of indentions
which may be felt with the hand. The
mouth is a black line burned into the
wood, and the eyes are little round holes.
One can feel the marks of the nose, ears
and lair, the buttons of the coat and the
links of the watch chain hanging from
the waistcoat pocket. A similar picture
of DAME. Webster is owned by Samuel
Noble, of Georgia, a business associate
of Edward Tyler, of this city, member
of tho Union League Club. A third
sketch, likeness of Shakespeare, is
owned by Francis Fontaine. Commits
sioner of Emigration of Georgia.
These sketches were made by worth
less fellow, q native of Boston, who
spent most of his days in his cups. He
could do the work only when under the
influence of liquor; when sober he was
too unsteady to guide his tools. Mr..
Turner learned of his talent by accident,
gave him assistance and tried to reform
him. But he was too far gone. He died
soon after meeting this new friend,
leaving with his benefactor the three
sketches-Shakespeare, Webster and
Clay. Webster was done from memory.
The artist had seen the statesman only
once, and that was ten years before he
attempted his portrait, yet the likeness
has been pronounced by those who knew
Mr.. Webster one of the most striking
ever produced Of him. --Neao York 7rii-

HeaIthfulness Of Tea.

As to the healthfulness of tea-drink-
ing in general, it is claimed that, barring
certain kinds of teas, including Japan
tea, tea-drnking is not only harmless.
but positively beneficial; that there is a
nourishment and gentle stimulus in a
cup of tea which conduces positively to
health and energy. This is the testimony
of those who possess the most intimate
knowledge of tea, its production and cf-
fects. But ten, to be healthful, must be
properly prepared or drawn. 1t must
come 10 the lips from the leaf by infusion,
and must not be boiled. Boiling means
thrusting of Ill the available tannin
into the detection, and if the infusion be
with too much tea or too little water the
effect the same. Further
more, the Chinese. who may be supposed
to have brought the art of exquisite tea
drinking up to a perfect nicely, do not
swallow the tea like the average Jump
and-catch-it Yankee. They do not gulp
down this delicious draught boiling hot,
but sip it merely warm. The American
takes his tea with SO much body or
strength that the diversion or dilution
furnished by milk and sugar is necessary
unless the tea-drinker be president of a
country sewing society the leading spirit
in n lively gossip club-in short an old
stager, well tanned with tea tannin for
full generation. 1t has been remarked
that some time ago New England dis
carded the Japan teas mostly. In this
section Of the country the most popular
teas to-day are the Oolongs. These are
heavy teas. At the West the light teas.

Fnr Seals Learning to Swim.

When the young seal is about month
old its education begins. One may
wonder wherein this consists, and this
feeling will be intensified when we learn
that it consists in teaching the young
how to swim. Il seems paradoxlcal--
ono can hardly believe it-.that the finest
swimmer of all amphibious creatures,
which spends half its existence at sea,
has no more idea of swimming at first
than one of our own babies. But it is
the fact. Take pup and put it out OF its
depth, and straightway its bullet head
sinks, its hind parts flop about impotent-
". and its death by suffocation is the
question of few minutes only. the little
creature not having the least idea Of llft-
ing up its head ana getting the air.
such being the case, its education IS q
question OF some little time, and is thus
affected: At about six weeks old lis in
stinct takes him down to the waters
edge, where hc Paddles about all day
long, now washed by the surf and now
left high and dry, in another moment
perhaps to be rolled over and over by tho
water. After fw minutes IF this he
gets tired, cusls himself round like ca
OF dog on the hearth rug and goes to
sleep, but only for short time, for the
seal at all ages is the most restless of
living creatures. Thea again to the
surf, padding about jus. like cur own
little boys and girls, every day expand
ing his ideas, and proving ID himself that
water is not such Gread full thing after
all. By repeated efforts, then, he learns
TO keep himself alloat, to recognize his
own powers, and become thoroughly
master of the element in which he has to
spend the greater portion Of his life

Disappearance Of Poplar.

Poplar, one of the desirable Southern

Grandeur of PauI's Greetings.

The Rev. William I, Sabine, of the Re-
formed Episcopal Church in Madison avc-
nue.: IF man should attempt to rival Paul
in heaping up words rof blessings he would
fall far below him. Bat merely piling up
words of comfort and of blessing is not all
nor oven the greatest of Paurs motives in so
doing. 1t is an attempt to overDurden
the human lauguage-an attempt to de-
scribe the indescribable, to express tho
inexpressible; the measure of the goodness of
God, the naming Of ray of which burdens
the frail human tongue till it gro,ns. Water
cannot be drawn from an empty well. But
so narrow an outlet as the human speech
gives us but little idea of the Joy that was
in Paul soul. There is nothing harsh n his
greetings. You know by them that he is
